Travel Guide
Oslo
Anne Holt’s Oslo is a very special kind of city. It’s is a mix of cold cases, tough streets and calculating killers.
This time there’s a keen insight into the very heart of Oslo Politics and the Prime Ministers’s Office:
Prime Minister Birgitte Volter was sitting in her office chair, her upper body slumped across the desk. She looked like a studewnt in a luxurious reading room, late one evening right before exams, just taking a little nap, forty winks
Then her assistant..”grabbed the phone with the direct line to the central switchboard of Oslo Police HQ”
Oslo Police
The police and legal team work from the police HQ in Gronlandsleiret 44 “which has no historical resonance unlike the previous building in Mollergata where the HQ used to be. The police seems to be bothered that their block is unlike the smart government buildings of Victoria Terrasse nearby”
Cases always seems to involve a conspiracy or two operating high up in the Oslo legal system and since Ms Holt was Norway’s Justice Minister, there is a keen sense of accuracy and realistic dialogue and other plot background within every book.
